Fluffy Rug

Fluffy Bathroom Rug Crochet Pattern by Angela Plunkett

What is Being Made

This is a crochet bathroom rug pattern designed by Angela Plunkett of Little Monkeys Designs. The finished rug measures 28" x 15" and is adjustable to fit your specific space. It is intended for placement in front of bathroom vanities, outside tubs or showers, in front of kitchen sinks, or anywhere you need a soft, cushioned surface to stand on. The pattern creates a cozy, fluffy rug suitable for complementing various bathroom décor styles.

Craft and Techniques

This project uses the crochet craft technique to construct the rug. Crochet is a fiber art that uses a single hook to create interlocking loops of yarn, building fabric from a series of connected stitches. The pattern is classified as intermediate difficulty, making it accessible to crocheters with some foundational experience. The rug works up quickly thanks to the use of super-chunky yarn weight, which creates larger stitches and faster project completion compared to lighter yarn weights.

Stitches Used

The Fluffy Bathroom Rug pattern utilizes basic crochet stitches, making it approachable for intermediate-level crafters. The stitches employed in this pattern include:

• Chain stitch (ch) – the foundation stitch used to create the base of the rug
• Single crochet (sc) – a short, tight stitch that creates dense fabric
• Double crochet (dc) – a taller stitch that adds height and texture to the work
• Slip stitch (sl st) – used to join rounds or move yarn across stitches without adding height
• Skip (sk) – technique for omitting stitches to create shaping or pattern variation

Materials

The Fluffy Bathroom Rug requires super-chunky yarn, specifically Jumbo #7 weight yarn. The sample rug shown in the pattern uses Bernat Maker Big yarn in the Ivory colorway. This yarn is composed of 50% cotton and 50% nylon blend, offering both softness and durability. Each skein contains 60 meters or 66 yards and weighs 8.8 ounces (250 grams). The pattern requires 2 skeins of yarn per rug. A Size Q/16 mm crochet hook is used to work with the jumbo-weight yarn. You may select any yarn color that complements your bathroom décor to personalize your finished rug.
